IKER CASILLAS TO MISS SIX WEEKS OF FOOTBALL ACTION

Real Madrid captain and goalkeeperIker Casillas will be out of action for an estimated six
weeks after breaking a thumb during his side's 1-1 draw with Valencia on
Wednesday

The Spain International was forced to leave the pitch after 17
minutes of play at Mestalla, and the club have now announced that he has
sustained the injury, meaning he will miss the Champions League tie
with Manchester United next month."After carrying out initial
X-rays at the La Moraleja Sanitas Hospital, it has been confirmed that
the footballer Iker Casillas has suffered a fracture at the base of the
first metacarpal on his left hand," a statement on the Madrid website
reads.

"It will be assessed again by a specialist later today to decide what treatment will be followed."

Coach Jose Mourinho will certainly be sad that the
knock will keep Casillas out of action for an estimated six weeks,
meaning he will certainly miss the clash with Untied in the Spanish
capital.

Additionally, the 31-year-old is doubtful for
the return against the Red Devils, while he could also be forced out of
the Clasico versus Barcelona on March 2.
